Hello, I think the file "OLEAUT32.dll" stands for 'OutlookExpress' Vista does not have OE in it. That could be a problem with the program.

The software is called PHStat 2 and the version is 2.7. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with a 1.6Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM and my version of MS Office is 2007. When I enter setup, I get through the preparing to setup, license agreement, setup then I get an error that says: "The following files would not self-register or unregister 1. C:\windows\system32\OLEAUT32.dll Access is denied 2. C:\windows\system32\STDOLE2.tlb Error Accessing the OLE registry. I have made sure the security settings were set as recommended in the help files. I have uninstalled the program, then reinstalled it from an elevated prompt and I still receive the same error messages. How can I get my installation to work? I hope I have included all pertinent information. Thanks for your help. --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
